The Go-Go's LIST OF ALBUM REVIEWS: Beauty and the Beat (1981) Vacation (1982) Talk Show (1984) Do you have any comments a-gogo? Send here. Brief album summaries: Beauty and the Beat (1981) These happy-go-lucky females deliver a load of catchy bubble-gum melodies, mild creativity and vibrant personality to boot. Sure, this is just ordinary surf-rock inspired new wave, but it's total fun. Overall Album Score: 8.6 out of 10 Average Song Score: 8.9 Album Tilt: 8.5 Artist Tilt: 8.5 Link to the full review: Beauty and the Cletes Vacation (1982) Clonesville. But is that such a bad thing? The fun is still here, but that spark is slowly fading away.... Overall Album Score: 8.1 out of 10 Average Song Score: 8.4 Album Tilt: 8.0 Artist Tilt: 8.0 Link to the full review: Flakation Talk Show (1984) They change their sound to incorporate more heavy guitars. The arrangements are strong and tasteful, but the melodies are weaker and the personality isn't nearly as vibrant. Oh well. They broke up after this release anyway. Overall Album Score: 7.7 out of 10 Average Song Score: 8.1 Album Tilt: 7.5 Artist Tilt: 7.5 Link to the full review: Spock's Toe
